Description I've worked on four different hero factory projects, but I had no time or will to come further than the torso/head! -.-
So I just wanted to do a good old bionicle build to cool off a bit. ^^

I wanted to use these wings and the spinax head and also wanted to make something with gunmetal coloured parts, because I havn't used them before.

I'm pretty proud on this construction, because I was able to use some nice techniques: the metal hair/scales, spinax head reversed xD, the wing structure, the silver scarf thingy and the whole armoring xD

That's okay, I don't have the money to consider it right now anyway. I just thought you'd like to know. KUDOS!

Haha yeah. You should you tube videos of yourself deconstructing your work and them play them in reverse so we can watch how to build! lol that'd be fun.

Thanks ^^
People often tell that I'm using parts they would never have imagined to be used that way, but for me it's totally normal ^^"

Sorry I haven't gotten to this sooner. I've been swamped with comments, replies and a lot of other people's deviations to.

This is a very good "alien soldier" type MOC. You do "alien" very well. Once again your armoring is so epic and consistent through out, earning you the nickname "epically consistent German dude." If you were trying to go for a "dumb grunt" kind of look you really pulled this off. Kinda reminds me of those things from halo, which I don't play so I don't remember their names. It annoys me how good your MOCs always look.

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2011-05-07 14:17:43 +0000 UTC]

Wow, it seems I was really able to pull off what I've wanted to xD
I really wanted to make him look like a grumpy soldier. I don't understand what 'dumb grunt' means, but it sounds like it is the thing I intended to do xD

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Alex-Darkrai [2011-05-09 08:27:17 +0000 UTC]

It means he's not very intelligent, just another soldier to fire a gun or do menial tasks. I typed in Dumb grunt into google translator from english to German, this is what it gave me "Dumm Grunzen"

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2011-05-09 10:40:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I did the same xD
But the meaning is still way different ^^"
But thanks, now I know what you mean ^^
I wanted him to be a rough and brutal fighter, but still with the ability to perform tactics

At first it's quite hard to make out what goes where, though it's certainly a good example of an abstract body structure xD Perhaps I could learn a thing or two about this... it seems that almost all of mine fit under the 'Humanshape', 'Quadruped' or 'No legs so it doesn't really matter anyway' categories.

Yeah, it's somehow difficult to take good pictures >.>"
But in reality he looks quite well shaped xD

Alex-Darkrai In reply to ZogtheAngryChipmunk [2011-05-02 16:27:46 +0000 UTC]

I'm always using a whole lot of technic parts for the torso and then I'm armoring it with bionicle parts. I think I've never used a standart torso, I'm having the most fun with building custom torsos xD

I always run out of ball joints or get the proportions wrong.

Can his bottom actually fire things or is it just amusing decoration? And those scales - I am in awe.

Orinally, it was intended to an ammunition belt, but don't any spheres anymore and no parts to construct a shpere shooter ... I'm pretty much out of good parts -.-"
No it just looks good xD
Thanks for the watch ^^

Heh, using those as legs... verycreative indeed, and he does rather look like a stocky shock trooper.

Now I know why I instantly thought 'soldier' when I was done building him >.>"

Mmm, got a chunky assault rifle to give him?

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Levia-the-Dragon [2011-05-02 18:06:37 +0000 UTC]

I thought about giving him Hahlis [link] because it looks like a rifle, is a normal bionicle weapon and fits the color sheme. But I could also try to build a custom one.

It was one of my intentions to make him look sturdy and durable, so he fits his title 'Frontline Soldier' ^^
